Notes
  1. Civil parishes served a variety of government functions until 1966, when the new Municipalities Act stripped them of their responsibilities; they continue to provide convenient boundaries for government uses, especially electoral districts and local service districts. Statistics Canada uses civil parishes as census subdivisions for all parts of the province that are not within municipalities and similar entities.

gollark: Mistake theory is that the other people are broadly well-meaning like you but have different sets of information to work from.
gollark: Something something conflict theory versus mistake theory politics? Conflict theory is that you're fighting an enemy who wants fundamentally different things and must be stopped.
gollark: This is not in fact possible.
